What are the symptoms of b12 deficiency neurological
I am a 25 year old female and I was diagnosed with Vitamin B12 deficiency a couple of months ago. Since, I have been taking supplements and a week ago I started experiencing tingling feet and lack of the sense of touch to certain extent. Does B12 deficiency cause these things? If so, what are the symptoms of B12 deficiency neurological complications?

Kindly monitor your vitamin B12 levels to see if it's still deficient or not. It is possible that your current symptoms could be due to vitamin B12 deficiency. The symptoms seen in vitamin deficiency are:
- Weakness, tiredness, or lightheadedness
- Heart palpitations and shortness of breath
- Pale skin
- A smooth tongue and oral ulcers
- Constipation, diarrhea, loss of appetite, or gas
- Nerve problems like numbness or tingling, muscle weakness, and problems walking
- Vision loss
- Mental problems like depression, memory loss, or behavioral changes
